As a new Conservative government takes charge, tenancy
fraud is highlighted as a big problem across the UK with the illegal claiming
of housing benefit seen as the biggest problem of all, according to latest
findings from Callcredit Information Group. It has been estimated that tenancy
fraud currently costs councils across the UK £1.8 billion each year. The
research looked into what types of housing fraud were seen as the biggest
problem by the public and if the money could be recovered what councils should
spend it on. Respondents across all age
groups and regions prioritised affordable housing as the area to spend
recovered money, indicating a united view that more needs to be done to solve
the housing crisis. Read more on the Callcredit website.
